summary
Claims that Istio’s integration tests can validate custom deployments by running the existing test framework against your cluster and catching regressions. Demonstrates running go test targeting pilot test suites which installs core components and sample apps (sleep, httpbin) and executes traffic routing checks. Shows using deploy=false and controlPlaneInstaller flag to let an external installer script handle install and cleanup, which converts IOP files to operator-specific manifests. Reports the tests run, expose bugs, and recommends filing precise bug reports with logs.
